The principal was led to believe the presentation was going to be about staying away from drugs and alcohol and have an anti-bullying message.
Instead, the band ended up bullying many of the students, using all sorts of scare tactics while talking about homosexuality, premarital sex, abortion, etc.

The people whining about tolerance are apparently OK with the fact that they are not tolerant of this band's beliefs.

When they have pulled-out-of-their-ass statistics like the median life span of a gay man is 42, the intollerance is understandable.

I've yet to see anyone, other than a whining parent who wasn't even there, say that this group said "the average life of a gay man is 42" which means it probably was not said and all of this was blown out of proportion by a few parents with second-hand knowledge of what was actually said.

Is a band member confirming the quote good enough?

McMillian did offer two images of aborted fetuses and a variety of informational slides touching on homosexuality that he said students also saw. Along the way, he also described how homosexuals die, on average, at the age of 42.

The video of him saying that is on the band's website actually. Indefensible for the stuff he was saying without proof.

That said, I work for a Christian rock station and these guys...I've never heard of. It seems pretty crappy to pull that message out at a public school though...

Once again - like I wrote before - the band cited a study which said that gays die 20 years earlier than straight people.

I understand studies that don't produce the results the lefties and the think tanks want are always either biased or skewed (yet their studies are supposed to be accepted as the gospel truth) but the bottom line is this:

You hired a Christian rock band then were upset when they preached the gospel. That's like a church hiring a gay activist and then being upset when he talks about alternative life styles.

What do you expect them to talk about?

Further, i find it funny that the same people who will defend to death Muslims - one of the most intolerant and oppressive religions on the planet - and will rally in black churches -- where people are generally the most intolerant of gay lifestyles -- when they need to makes sure the black folks get out and vote, go ape shit every time an Evangelical -- generally read: White, American and conservative - talks about his or her beliefs.

This is political pandering and bullshit.

NOBODY should have to apologize for their religious beliefs, even if they offend the sensibilities of the politically correct whiny assholes out there who are arrogant enough to believe that tolerance means we have to agree with them.
